EMERSON'S FLOWER SEEDS 
& 
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES 
in the planting and cultivation of your flower garden and results will be surprising. A sunny, well 
drained location sheltered from the winds at the start, is a consideration of first importance. 
First. Make sure of a fine, loamy, dark soil mixing with it a good plant food to be sure of its 
fertility. Course, lumpy ground will not do, especially where the seeds are very small. 
Second. Sow the seed broadcast or in rows covering lightly and on the average not over 
inch deep, the very fine sorts being pressed into the soil. Water lightly and keep soil at all times 
damp. When a few leaves have formed, transplant one inch apart in boxes or, if warm enough, 
into the open ground. 
Third. Outdoor planting should not be attempted before the middle of May, and hard seeds 
such as Sweet Peas, Canna, etc., can be soaked over night to improve their germination. Always 
name label your seed in sowing it. 
Although Emerson does not go into the flower seed line as extensively as some, we take great 
pride in giving you vigorous high germinating seeds, and a selection embracing the up-to-date and 
most popular varieties. No seeds leave our store until they have passed exacting tests for growth.
